Yu Yuan ultimately didn't get to drink the tea.

Nezha and Jin Ling Saint Mother sat across from each other, sipping immortal tea, while Yu Yuan was on the side pouring tea and continuing to copy out scriptures. Nezha didn't beat around the bush and directly recounted the matter regarding the No-Life Old Mother, finally laying out his objective.

"I think this No-Life Old Mother's origins are quite mysterious, and she might have some connection to Second Uncle-Master, so I'm here specifically to seek advice from Uncle Tongtian."

Jin Ling Saint Mother furrowed her brows at this moment as well. She and Duobao had been among the earliest batch of disciples to enter the sect, yet she had never heard anything about No-Life Old Mother. This proved that it was something from long ago, before their master became a Saint.

It wasn't possible for her to always stick by Nezha's side to protect him. As for eliminating No-Life Old Mother outright, the matter involved Saints and wasn't about some enormous calamity. How troublesome it was, she, as the disciple of a Saint, understood better than anyone.

Jin Ling Saint Mother, being a decisive person, thought for a while and knew she couldn't resolve it herself, so she immediately got up and took Nezha to Biyou Palace.

Her master loved watching live-streamed entertainment when free, but what specific entertainment Tongtian Sect Master indulged in, Nezha truly didn't know. Maybe it was sword practice?

"Disciple Jin Ling (Nezha) greets Master (Uncle Tongtian)."

Tongtian Sect Master was the same as ever, clad in blue robes and seated atop the Fortune Cloud. He casually glanced at Nezha twice before asking, "You rascal, what are you here for?"

In the presence of Saints—entities so powerful their existence was beyond comprehension—the most important thing was to remain sincere and not try any tricks. You could never know how much they might already know.

Nezha recounted the matter regarding No-Life Old Mother in full detail.

No-Life Old Mother had stolen incense offerings, only to be retaliated against by Nezha and ultimately defeated. These conflicts were still within the bounds of 'rules,' and later, when she visited to assert her position and lost face, that was no one else's fault.

Even the White Lotus Sect being officially branded as heretical was not without the tacit approval of two of the Three Pure Ones.

Now that Nezha was here to investigate No-Life Old Mother's background, Tongtian Sect Master, who enjoyed opposing his second brother, revealed some details about the connection between No-Life Old Mother and Yuanshi Tianzun, given his disdain for those who lost but still sought to retaliate.

No-Life Old Mother was not her true self; she was the Evil Corpse of a female immortal whose Daoist title was Taiyuan Saint Mother. According to Nezha's understanding, this Taiyuan Saint Mother could be considered Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao companion before he became a Saint.

As Tongtian Sect Master explained, Taiyuan Saint Mother had long been cultivating in a secretive world, suppressing something related to Yuanshi Tianzun. Why No-Life Old Mother had now emerged, and why she could reverse Heavenly Gang Cultivation and surpass the limits of the Three Corpse method, Tongtian Sect Master didn't elaborate further.

Hearing this, Nezha understood Tongtian Sect Master's implications: this No-Life Old Mother involves something hidden. If you want to deal with her, why not figure out the source of these secrets first?

Nezha shot a slightly resentful look at Tongtian Sect Master—Uncle, you didn't used to be like this. When did you start being so cryptic?

Tongtian Sect Master wasn't entirely unwilling to explain; the matter involved his second sister-in-law, so he couldn't be too explicit.

Nezha understood only partially but at least had a direction. He profoundly grasped the terrifying nature of a woman's vengeance—especially when the woman was a fairy with Quasi-Saint cultivation.

Hiding wouldn't solve the problem. Instead of constantly being targeted by No-Life Old Mother, he decided it would be better to confront her directly and put an end to it.

After asking all his questions, Nezha and Jin Ling Saint Mother left Biyou Palace, and the two walked hand-in-hand along the seaside, watching the waves.

Jin Ling Saint Mother appeared somewhat worried about Nezha, but since Tongtian Sect Master himself avoided speaking freely about the matter, as his disciple, she clearly should refrain from intervening.

"Why don't I just stay temporarily within the Mountain and River Map? If you're in danger, you can summon me out."

Nezha felt warm inside. Jin Ling Saint Mother was currently in a rather crucial period; she wanted to sever the Second Corpse, and finding the right opportunity wasn't easy. If she missed it now, it would be uncertain when the next chance might arise.

Most importantly, after his previous clash with No-Life Old Mother, Nezha already felt some confidence. While he couldn't defeat her head-on himself, it was equally impossible for No-Life Old Mother to harm him. Worst case, he'd just unleash his trump card: "Master, save me!"

This was the confidence of being the treasured son of the sect!

At present, Nezha's relationship with Nuwa as her disciple was strong and stable, leaving him with few concerns. In the Primordial world, the bond between master and disciple was the most enduring.

Family continued the bloodline, but disciples carried on the pursuit of one's Dao.

Of course, Saints didn't need this, but Nezha had a close bond with Nuwa.

After reassuring Jin Ling Saint Mother to focus on Corpse Severing, Nezha set off to locate the secretive world's whereabouts. The Primordial worlds were numerous, so wandering aimlessly wouldn't work, but Nezha suspected the supposed secretive world might be what the White Lotus Sect referred to in their teachings as the True Void Home.

The White Lotus Sect had been obliterated, but not all members were killed. Nezha wandered the mortal world, relentlessly searching for remnants of the White Lotus Sect, using the flow of their faith to try pinpointing the True Void Home's coordinates.

The process was extremely cumbersome, but fortunately, it bore fruit.

...

Nezha aimed to pinpoint the True Void Home. It was a gray, desolate world, devoid of the prosperity boasted in the White Lotus Sect's doctrines—only endless decay.

Tens of thousands of ghosts roamed the realm, emitting continuous wails. It was even gloomier than the underworld, and these were the Huang Xuer who had returned to the True Void Home.

No-Life Old Mother sat cross-legged within a grand hall atop a lake, her face as dark as water. Scattered across the floor were various objects, clearly evidence of a recent fit of rage.

She now resembled a college student who had lost an argument outside, only to return home and stew in regret. Over and over, she replayed the scenario in her mind, thinking about how she could have performed better—if only she had done this or that, things might have been different.
